An amazing play- relatable to girls everywhere and a beautiful slice of life. The story is chronological, and simply structured with delightful characters and amped-up conflict. Amazing play for high-schoolers to watch, read and perform, and a wonderful spin on the high school mean girl.

This play is such a sly and lively entertainment it's a playwriting masterclass -- effortlessly accessible in its universality yet durably rooted in geographic specificity. You're so compelled in the moment by the choices and fortunes of these engagingly multidimensional characters (and the surprising ways in which your feelings about them shift the more you learn), you may not even notice the thorny and uncompromising themes this play's exploring until after the curtain falls on its pitch-perfect ending.

School Girls; Or the African Mean Girls Play is so incredible that I'm having a hard time coming up with the right words. And after watching it, I find myself shaking off the deep-rooted teenage judgments that were whispered (and yelled) around me in middle and high school. I could not be more different from these characters, and yet there is a universality there — a feeling of never being enough and a realization that your school is only a speck on the world stage. Thank you, Jocelyn!
